Robotics – Pilot Oct. 19-Nov. 1 Fridays 5-9pm & Saturdays 8am-12pm Hi-Tech Career for the Future Looking for a great paying, exciting and refreshing career in technology?
 Mechatronics is a dynamic field that changes daily with the rapid improvements in technology and computer systems. If you like to work with highly automated equipment, computer interfacing, and simulation software, and if you like to see what things are made of and how they work using both your mind and your hands, you will enjoy this program.
Mechatronics is a new, interdisciplinary field involving mechanical, instrumentation, electronics, robotics/automation, computer components and control systems. Systems are networked together to meet the demands of highly automated manufacturing processes and technicians are trained to master the necessary skills.
Mechatronic technicians maintain robots and other automated manufacturing equipment, security systems, game machines, heating and cooling systems, medical monitoring equipment and a long list of other equipment and systems that we depend on for our daily existence.
What does it take to get started in Mechatronics Technology? A high school diploma or GED, good math skills and the desire to succeed! If you meet these requirements, get in touch with one of these Upstate South Carolina colleges Greenville Technical College, Piedmont Technical College, Spartanburg Community College, Tri-County Technical College or York Technical College to see what we have to offer. TechReadySC, an organization formed by the five participating colleges and the SC Technical College System, has developed the Mechatronics curriculum by working closely with manufacturers throughout South Carolina to establish a Certificate/Associate Degree program to prepare technicians for this growing field.
Two certificate programs are available a Basic Mechatronics Technology I Certificate for recent high school graduates, and an Advanced Mechatronics Technology II Certificate for those with experience already in manufacturing. When these certificates are coupled with other related classes, a student can receive an Associate Degree in Occupational Technology with a major in Mechatronics Technology.
All South Carolina colleges offering the Mechatronics Technology curriculum are equipped with the latest manufacturing equipment to ensure the best opportunities available in training. This highly automated and computerized equipment is used throughout manufacturing worldwide.
